WORKING WITH POWER POINT: LEVEL 1
Julia HengstlerEducational TechnologistFaculty of Education Vancouver Island University
AM I DOOMED?:
“The most boring [post-secondary] teaching methods were found to be laboratory work, computer sessions and copying lecture notes whilst the most significant contributor to lecture boredom in terms of teach method is the use of PowerPoint (without a handout)…”
From Mann, S., & Robinson, A. (April 2009). “Boredom in the lecture theatre: an investigation in the contributors, moderators and outcomes of boredom amongst university students”. British Educational Research Journal, 35 (2), p. 256. [Colour & italics added by me.]

Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)
WHY POWER POINT:
Today’s “transparency”—expected Easily edited & shared w/ colleagues Easily re-versioned, stored & searched Can incorporate text w/ images, sound, video for
better cognition & recall Used in student presentations, jobs, etc. Can be shared prior to class to focus F2F activities
Can be used IN PLACE of lecture Demonstrates your professional competency
using technology

OVERALL GOALS FOR THIS SESSION:
This session is about YOU. Everyone is at a different point in their learning. If you know the basics, feel free to explore & play.
If you need to learn the basics, stick close to the activities outlined.
Your classmates will likely be spending time on exploring aspects different from yours. This is fine.
Your goal is to learn more than you knew before coming here—NOT to learn everything about Power Point—or even everything in this session during this time.
